Saturday morning while walking the dogs I found these leaves laying on the sidewalk. I swapped the pups for a Nikon and took some photos. I knew I wanted to shoot from ground level with the fisheye. I tried several angles and this was one of the better shots.

I downloaded them and came up with the top photo. I really liked the image. I love the texture in the leaf and the sidewalk surface. The leaf is still moist from the night’s rain.

I thought about converting it to black and white, but love the color in the leaf. I compromised and desaturated everything but the leaf. Think I may have to make a print of this one.
